**HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER GERMAN C.G. HAENEL MP43/1 MACHINE GUN (C&R).

SN 7828B. Cal. 7.92x33mm. 16-1/2″ bbl. Receiver manufactured by “cos” (Merz Werke), with eagle over 37 Haenel final proof, and marked “MP43/1”, and dated 43, making it an early specimen of its kind, with a heavy MKb(42) barrel. Note distinctive un-stepped barrel and “long” muzzle nut. Other parts such as gas block and bbl also have Haenel proof mark. Of interest the matching bolt was made by “ar” (Mauser). The piston of the carrier is also matching and made by Mauser with the carrier retaining only a Haenel and Nazi firing proof. External SN’s match. Orig taller profile buttstock measures 5-1/2″ heel to toe. Includes four orig mags one of which marked MP43, the others MP44. Also includes one complete trigger housing assembly with internals without grips, SN 6570. This is a National Firearms Act item and requires BATF approval for transfer. This item is fully transferable on an ATF form 3 or 4 as Curio & Relic eligible. CONDITION: Overall appearance of orig finish is very good with some scattered areas of light minor brown pitting to more pronounced pitting on right side of receiver to the rear of ejection port, and also to front of grip frame. Good bore, unfortunately uncleaned for a significant time with some moderate pitting. Mechanics are fine, rear of mag housing assembly above pivot point where handgrip meets receiver has two drilled holes which do not seem to effect serviceability. Wood is in fine orig condition with handling marks and dings. Mags range from good to very good condition with orig finish. A scarce matching variation of an orig MP43/1 right down to one MP43 marked mag is certain to attract the interest of both collectors and shooters. 52925-1 JWK (22,000-30,000) C&R – Lot 1029
